Large shiny silver ball flying above LONDON

LONDON - The witness was sunbathing in Crystal Park on August 3, 2003, at 4:45 PM, and was enjoying the hot weather, and watching planes flying overhead. He states, "I could see clearly see a large shiny silver ball flying above us." The object seemed to shake every now and then, but hovered at the same altitude for about ten minutes. A large jumbo jet started flying towards it, and the ball started moving up apparently to get out of the way. The plane passed and I watched as the ball continued upwards. The sky was blue with a few wispy clouds. As the ball passed through one of the clouds the cloud lit up for a split second, as if there was a lightening storm within, although it was clearly not a storm cloud. The ball became faint and was like a small star in the bright blue sky.

Yo !

I assume by Crystal Park it means Crystal Palace park. I live quite near there. There is a huge TV transmitter in the park. I wonder if that could have had anything to do with it..

Could it have been a weather balloon?
